The I-95 nightmare:

Call me naïve, but in my experience trucks which carry gasoline or other significant flammable petroleum products have a remarkably low rate of catastrophe, despite the action films of the 80s and 90s. Weirdly, not only did this truck explode under the busiest highway in the United States, but fascinatingly, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t think there are very many private citizens owning these trucks and driving them around. No petroleum company or distributor has been named in this and even the BP spill in the ocean, was immediately acknowledged by the company who owned the oil rig responsible for that nightmare. The governor and the police are staying very close-lipped ans to cause and in concert with the published RW threat to “watch the bridges“, this is of great concern.

As many here remember, a Ryder truck was left outside of a federal building in Oklahoma City to “great effect“. Perhaps this Sunday’s explosion and fire is the warning shot over the bow and I fully understand why they are playing their cards close to the vest, but we as individuals need to keep our eyes open during this next political epoch, because it is quite possible that domestic terrorists, who may have learned a lesson from the January 6 riot, are going to resort to different means of “protest”, and I’m using that term quite loosely.

Remember, when the Republicans refused to acknowledge the existence of domestic terrorism? They may well have been aware of plans years in advance to make a move on the government and the sanctity of democracy. Yes I know I’m going a long way from a fire to the overthrow of the government, but at the very least this is how the movie starts. And we’ve all seen those movies…

the sanctity of democracy.

Government worship--that's their religion.

Insinuating that some random truck explosion could be a precursor to an upcoming attack by the famous "MAGA extremists".

but we as individuals need to keep our eyes open during this next political epoch, because it is quite possible that domestic terrorists, who may have learned a lesson from the January 6 riot, are going to resort to different means of “protest”, and I’m using that term quite loosely.

Yes, your side does use the term protest loosely. The phrase "fiery but mostly peaceful" comes to mind.

Verbosity exceeding intelligence.

Wait a minute!

I was told by the DUmmies that fire cannot melt steel and that it was settled science backed up with experiments using chicken wire and some bricks or something.

Orange flame bad.

So, evidently the drivers remains have been identified. Hilarity between Minnesota Moses and PCmoron ensue..

86. Perhaps you jumped the gun a bit?

Considering thats what you schmucks do with every story, its not exactly a shock.

89. No I don't think so

I believe it was not unreasonable to posit that there may have been a nefarious motive behind this catastrophe. When asked specifics, the governor, the mayor, and other officials deflected the questions by saying that it was an ongoing investigation. Obviously, they thought it was a possibility and apparently that is not the case. I have no problem in this environment being very suspicious of anything on toward which happens to infrastructure or individuals and I apologize for nothing in this regard.

Well, at least we know where this crackhead "Dentist" stands.

90. OK.

Perhaps we need to check with the VRWC ordnance and make sure none if the softball sized mini-nukes have gone missing…

[DefiantSix]

I'm sure the current situation we as a nation find ourselves in, calls for a re-write of The I-95 Song.

Well...
Here comes Joey with his pecker in his hand
He's a one-ball man and he's off to the rodeo...

  So the deceased truck driver isn't the white supremacist gun-humping (insert Prog stereotypes here) Trump voter PCIntern seeks? As usual? Unsurprisingly.

If conclusion-jumping were an Olympic sport, DUmmies would sweep the medals platform at every Olympiad.

[Old n Grumpy]

The poorly designed exit may have been the cause. Just another example of racist roadways 
I’m sure pete butplug will be all over it

Funny how all these disasters in our transportation systems from clogged ports and train derailments to bridge collapses and interstate highway shutdowns all happened under our first queer and super unqualified transportation secretary.

Have they found a way to blame Trump yet?

PCIntern was trying to get there, but as usually happens to DU-folks' Reich-Wing Conspiracies, reality got in the way.

You mean their reality filter is malfunctioning and reality snuck in?

Oh the horror!!!!

A few other things that come to my mind when I see the DUmmmies wetting their panties over "right wing extremists":
1. In late 2021, the Dummies expressing more sympathy for the psycho who committed the Waukesha Christmas Parade Attack than for his victims.
2. In March, the DUmmies making one thread after another portraying the Nashville Christian school shooter as a brave and noble hero/ martyr taking a righteous stand for "trans rights," mourning and weeping over her death, and portraying her victims (including the children) as evil bigot monsters who all deserved to die.
3. Just a month or so ago, the infamous DUmmy undergroundpanther expressing a deep desire to massacre as many Republicans and Christians as possible.

Well, in his.. her... its defense, thats pretty normal behavior.

Just because crap like that is what we've all learned to expect from UG Pee, doesn't mean that the perfectly serviceable word 'normal' should ever be tortured by being used in s/h/its context.

There is NOTHING normal about UG Pee...

DU-folks' expression of violent desires toward people who dare disagree with them - and acceptance/tolerance of these verbalized violent desires - is on proud display all over DU, from its inception to the present. Utterly different, BTW, from the Come-At-Me-Bro "threats" to defend oneself that are sometimes posted here. UGP's hatred and expressions of violent desires are DU-Normal.
